storage_pod can not be set

[afeefghannam89]

SUMMARY

I am using compute_profile plugin to create configuration on katello. However, this plugin let the storage_pod parameter empty after problem free Ansible run

EXPECTED RESULTS

Set the storage-pod parameter in my Small compute profile

ACTUAL RESULTS

[evgeni]

Can you post the output of ansible-playbook --check --diff playbook.yml when the profile is not yet present? And ideally another one when it is.

[afeefghannam89]

ansible-playbook --check --diff redhat_satellite.yml -i on_prem_environment/inventory

I tried with group-p666 as a storage pod name, but I got the same results.
Two screenshots are attached confirming the empty storage pod field after creating the profile and the available choices.

[evgeni]

Thanks!

Another request (sorry!)

Can you select the right pod in the UI, save it, and then again run the playbook with --diff and show us?

Background: the output you posted implies the API did accept the pod, but if the UI disagrees, we might be using a wrong identifier or something?

I think, the problem is, the plugin uses the pod id "group-p666" by creating or checking the pod parameter, that does not match with katello API, I think katello wants the pod name not the pod id, does it? Have a look please at the network name and compare it with the pod, the plugin uses the network id dvportgroup-257 by creating and checking which suits katello API.

[evgeni]

Interesting, thanks!

[evgeni]

Out of curiosity, did you try deploying a host with the "broken" (the one using the id, not name) compute profile?

I have a feeling this should work and the UI is just displaying it wrongly, but don't have a VMware to test on :(

[afeefghannam89]

Your feeling is right :) I used the name as pod name

 storage_pod: DatastoreCluster-Server-INTEL-VPLEX

The UI does not display the pod under the profile, but while creating a virtual machine, I can see the pod under the vm configurations. In addition, the creating of new vm works.

[evgeni]

"nice"

We'll try get access to an VMware to test this and other parameters properly and issue a fix afterwards.

cc @ezr-ondrej for "how broken is this intergration?!"

[laugmanuel]

I've experienced the same problem with FAM 2.2.0.
The behaviour changed probably due to d0050d1.

I can assist in debugging FAM (and Foreman) if you need someone with access to VMware.

[lovilak]

Hello,
I've tried this change : volume['storage_pod'] = storage_pod['name'] instead of
volume['storage_pod'] = storage_pod['id'] in plugins/modules/compute_profile.py and the storage_pod is displayed.

[afeefghannam89]

@evgeni Hello, I can confirm the solution from @lovilak. I have tested it with collection 3.8 and RedHat Satellite 6.10.7.

I have tested also the storage_domain with name and id It worked in both cases. storage_pod works only with name but not with id

[s-reimann]

same here, changing storage_pod['id'] to storage_pod['name'] did the trick. I've tested with collection 3.8 and foreman-3.4.1-1

[brakkio86]

Hello, I'm facing the same issue. I've a fresh installation of RH Satellite 6.14.0 (i.e. foreman-3.7.0.9-1.el8sat.noarch) and collection 3.10.0. There is any fix for this situation?
